A big congratulations to our Battle of the Books Team, who will be competing soon for the championship! We're proud of their hard work, teamwork and love of reading. We wish them the best of luck as they represent BGW!
This is the last week of our state testing window. We are so proud of the effort students have shown so far. We will be calling students in to do their final makeup tests. You can help by ensuring your child gets a good night's sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives to school on time.
Thank you for your continued support!
Best regards,
Admin team
